Welcome back to Bucky’s Basement.
This week on Fast Pitch, the Sack giveth… “Watching Dawn, The Heavy Cleaner.” Yeah. Let that one marinate. With only 15 minutes each to build a full movie — complete with Cast, Tagline, and Movie Marriage — what direction will the guys take? Is sci-fi in the cards? What about an origin story? Or something closer to home, ripped from the headlines? Or something so unhinged it legally shoul...This week on Bucky’s Basement, Fast Pitch pulls the title Don’t Rico Asteroids from the Sack—and the Sack, as usual, shows no mercy.
Undeterred, the boys rise to the challenge with three wildly different interpretations: a futuristic sci-fi parable about classism and moral responsibility, an alien invasion orchestrated by a bottom-feeding film producer, and an unexpectedly earnest origin story for the classic arcade game Asteroids....This week, Bucky’s Basement dusts off another Casting Cage episode with 2007’s National Treasure: Book of Secrets, a sequel that proves American history has even more secret compartments than previously disclosed.
Nic Cage returns as Benjamin Gates, this time chasing the mythical City of Gold, Cibola, while reuniting with his whiny daddy (Jon Voight), his ex (Diane Kruger), his trusty sidekick (Justin Bartha), and racing against ...WE BACK!!!!! KINDA!!!!
Bucky, Oldboy, and Juicebox got back in the studio to make sure we remembered how to do this whole podcast thing. We'll be back next week with a new episode of Casting Cage. In the meantime, enjoy us being us.

This week, the dudes saddle up with fellow podcasters Wally Analog and Rowls Royce from The Old Guard to tackle the fiery chaos of 2007’s Ghost Rider! With a cast packed full of legends—Nic Cage, Eva Mendes, Sam Elliott, Peter Fonda, and... Wes Bentley(?)—there’s plenty of hellfire to dissect.
From devilish deals to barely death defying bike stunts, the crew breaks down the cast, plot, and gloriously over-the-top visuals of this pr...
This week we're excited to have the guys from "The Old Guard" podcast sit down with us for a Casting Cage episode this week. But before we bring you that, we decided to sit down with Rowls and Wally and get a little background on who they are and how this collaboration came about. Enjoy!

We discuss the film ...This week, the guy's draw the unfortunate title of "Chrome Clue Then Timid Stew" for an interesting Fast Pitch episode.
